Pierre Poilievre Conservative
“Canadians have too much debt and cannot pay their bills because of the Prime Minister. I want him to stop making life harder for them.”
“Mr. Speaker, I know the Prime Minister is very fragile. He is not used to taking any difficult questions, but the reality is that Canadians cannot pay their bills. In the first year in office, he has driven up household delinquencies by 18%. He has given Canadians the worst household debt in the G7. Delinquencies have climbed by 32% year over year, and in Q1 we saw a 17-year high due to financial strains in Canadian household finances. Will the Prime Minister get off the backs of Canadians so they can pay their bills?”
